Why Limit Happy to an Hour?

The epitome of a good day:

• Woke up from a good night’s rest with no arthritis pain
• Ate previous night’s leftovers for breakfast – no brainer Paleo meal
• I was the first customer at Grease Monkey for an oil change, had coffee with the guys & they  gave me a new customer discount
• Pool store clerk loaded 3 jugs of  chlorine in the car for me without me asking for help 
• Home Depot associate gave me a 2 x 3′ piece of plywood for free when I told him I was making a counter-top ironing board for my quilting projects
• Washed my car in the driveway – it was overcast & almost cool. No heat exhaustion.  No streaks.
• Rode my new bike to the library without accidents or incidents (just a sore ass)
• Bought 2 beautiful, ripe mangos – my favorite fruit
• Pulled weeds around the lanai without seeing worms, snakes or anything else startling or disgusting 
• Dove down to pull a rogue plastic lid  covering the drain at the bottom of the pool and didn’t drown
• Received calls from my kids
• Finished my retro step stool project

  After

• Found food in the refrigerator for dinner – no last minute run to the grocery store
• Watched three episodes of “Nurse Jackie”
• Listened to the laughter of the kids next door splashing in their grandparents’ pool
• Fell asleep thinking about tomorrow’s fun
